August weather forecast
Praia Norte, Brazil

August, the last month of the winter in Praia Norte, is a sweltering month, with an average temperature ranging between max 36°C (96.8°F) and min 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Temperature

August brings a marginal elevation to a torrid 36°C (96.8°F) from July's 33.5°C (92.3°F) in Praia Norte's average high-temperatures. A striking difference from the daytime highs is registered during August nights, with an average temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
